The Plan: Take the girls to see Shrek the Third at 4:15. Have great time with first all family movie outing with CVS bought candy snuck in. Maggie and Georgia were so excited! The Reality: Tried to locate cat outside unsuccessfully for 30 minutes, therefore missing 4:15 show. No big deal, we'll go to the 5:15. Arrive at movie theatre at 4:45 and all shows sold out until 6:45. The screaming and crying begins. Walk back to the car with promises of coming again while crying continues as everyone looks on. Relief came in the form of CVS candy eaten in the car.
We then think it'd be great to go to Uncle Gio's Italian restaurant, which is nowhere near where we are, and Georgia can have her favorite - cheese pizza. Get there and, you guessed it, they are closed - it IS Memorial Day after all! Now the girls aren't happy at all, and neither are Mom and Dad. I promise Georgia a frozen cheese pizza at home - YUM! Get home - NO FROZEN CHEESE PIZZAS in freezer!
So we have struck out as parents today.
Georgia and Maggie had to settle for swinging in the back yard and picking pepperoni off the pizza we did have. Brad and his Dad built these swings for the girls last year, on his Dad's birthday actually, and they have been terriffic! You can tell by the lack of grass how often they use these. Thanks Dad and Poppy!
The previous owners of our home made these neat trails in the woods behind our house. It's where most of our cat-searching occurs. The girls love to run back there, pick up a few ticks, and hide from Mom and Dad. It is kind-of fun.
